Golden Oldies Part 1 - Tribute to G Devarajan

I am going to start a series on the old malayalam songs of which the first one is a tribute to our own great music director G Devarajan master who passed away recently. The golden era of malayalam music is considered to be that of G Devarajan, V Dakshinamoorthy, M S Baburaj, M.K Arjunan, K Raghavan to name a few. Devarajan master has scored music for more than three hundred Malayalam Films many dramas, twenty Tamil and four Kannada movies. Many of his compositions remain ever green classics in Malayalam. Besides, his music in the Tamil film 'Annai Velankanni' has received many accolades. Devarajan received Kerala Government's Best Music Director award for five times, among other honours.
The song I am presenting today is a classic romantic song 'Indravallari poo choodi varum'. The song is a classic composition from Devarajan master on the wonderful lyrics by the great Vayalar. In fact most of Devarajan Master's hit songs were written by Vayalar Ramavarma and the combination of Vayalar-Devarajan was synonymous with beautiful songs . This is a beautiful composition which will be there in the ears of music lovers for ever. I love this song very much and it was a pleasure singing this. This song is originally sung by our own Yesudas. Any music lover can imagine the beauty of the rendition by KJY on such a wonderful composition. I have tried my best rendering this.
I have been receieving requests to sing some fast numbers. Infact some fast numbers and songs in different moods are in pipeline.
